It is time for another challenge at Whiff of Joy challenge and this fortnight we'd like to see paper piecing on your projects! The gorgeous new Ben & Nora images by Alison Acton are perfect for paper piecing - lovely big clothing areas!! The papers I've used are from Whiff of Joy's new paper pad. I created the cloud shape for the front panel of the card myself.
I love Nora she is so cute! I have coloured her with copics and I've paper pieced her hat and coat with some gorgeous spotty paper by October Afternoon to give her a very girly raincoat and hat!! My little girl has a coat like this which she loves LOL!
I had such fun with this card - it is a simple design compared to my usual style but I think it works without any embellishing. I created some raindrops with glossy accents - I love how these turned out!
I have written the sentiment myself with my calligraphy. I tried to give it a bit of a Tim Holtz feel with different styles and sizes of lettering. The cardstock for the cloud shape is a pale silver pearlescent card although it is difficult to tell on the photos (the silver lining to the cloud LOL).
I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this week at
